§ Mr. SAMUEL SAMUELasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in view of the very onerous work of officers employed in the Censor's Office, the War Office will consider giving them the same gratuity as awarded to officers in other branches of the Service, and especially to those employed in France, where they have considerable expense in consequence of the War Office not making any provision for their accommodation?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe pay of the posts in the Postal Censorship at home is on a civilian basis, and officers paid on that scale are not therefore eligible for the1496W gratuity issuable to officers on Army rates of pay. Officers in the Censorship in France are graded as military staff officers, and are eligible for the usual gratuity.
